What does this PR do?
The existing Windows and MS Office license management module is based on supplied vbs-scripts from these products themselves.
Microsoft itself is phasing out vbscript, but what remains is a flexible and functional CIM( 1, 2 ) tool that can be called via Powershell.
My module is an implementation of license key management via CIM methods, universal to all software that uses the Windows internal license store.
